Caramel is a simple, modern, responsive website framework. Caramel is fully responsive, meaning you only need to write code once, to have the same results across multiple platforms. Created by kurisubrooks, Caramel is being developed with help from the open-source community on GitHub.

We've included an easy and hassle free way for you to compile Caramel. We've included our own Gulp build tool, that you can use to compile Caramel.
Our compiler runs on Node.js, so before you can continue, please ensure that you have it installed. Once you have Node installed, you'll need Gulp. If you already have both Node and Gulp installed, skip these steps, otherwise install Node.js from their website, then run the following command to install Gulp:
npm install gulp --global
Note: You may need to run this command with sudo on macOS
To get the latest version of Caramel and to install the build tools, run the following set of commands:
git clone https://github.com/caramelcss/caramel.git
cd ./caramel
npm install
To run the build tool, run the following command:
gulp
After the build is complete, the output caramel.css, caramel.min.css and caramel.min.js files can be found in your ./dist/css and ./dist/js folders respectively.
Caramel has been designed for any browser that supports CSS3. Caramel has been tested, and is recommended for use on:
